Techkon has announced its strategic OEM partnership with Screen Americas. As part of the strategic partnership, Screen Americas will be including the Techkon SpectroDens Premium handheld spectrophotomer as a core component of each new customer’s Equios color management workflow solution. This new integrated product is also a standard offering for all configurations of the press series, including the TPJ 520ZZ, TPJ 520NX, and TPJ 520HD.
The SpectroDens was chosen by Screen for its ease of use, versatility and color measurement accuracy. Of particular interest to Screen was the side-aperture design of the SpectroDens, which makes alignment of the device quick and easy for the operator. In addition, Screen states that it wasalso impressed with the ability to seamlessly switch between spot measurements and color bar scanning without requiring the purchase or installation of additional accessories. In the Screen color ecosystem, the SpectroDens will play an integral role in capturing color measurements to allow for color calibration of the press and to ensure color consistency of the Truepress across a variety of print media.
According to Screen and Techkon, the companies are excited to offer new products and are eager to share how their installations have positively impacted printers quality, efficiency and growth.
The SpectroDens measurement head allows a single spot measurement approximately every one second while the patented, side-aperture design allows the operator to position the optics over the desired measurement location for even faster operation. The high-resolution spectral engine fully complies with ISO-13655 requirements and enables spectral sampling in 10 nm intervals from 400 nm to 700 nm for even more accurate M0, M1, M2, & M3 measurements. The unibody case is precisely machined from a single block of aluminum to maximize durability and reliability in harsh production environments. Additionally, an encoder is embedded in the instrument and allows for scanning of color bars up to 40" in length in only 10 seconds, without the need for additional accessories.
Screen Americas is headquartered in Rolling Meadows, IL, USA, and the company provides a wide range of products designed to meet graphic communications needs, with a strong focus on production-class inkjet printing technology. Screen's product portfolio includes Truepress inkjet printers and presses, PlateRite thermal platesetters and PDF/JDF-based workflow solutions for computer-to-plate and print-on-demand.
The Truepress Jet520 series boasts more than 1,500 machines manufactured by Screen since the first model Truepress Jet520S was launched in 2007. Conventional commercial print job lengths have been reduced as tastes shift to full-color variable printing that targets the specific needs of a particular customer or market segment.
